Maybe "requirement" wasn't exactly what I meant...I think that you should be able to display some level of proficiency with your handgun before taking the CHL class. I think they should be proficient even owning one. Not something mandated by the state or government, but more of a personal responsibility thing. You don't get in to a car and drive it without being somewhat capable of driving. You shouldn't handle a firearm without knowing how to operate it. It takes no time to learn it...

Re: Inexperienced in Class
I wonder how many folks who think that inexperienced people should be barred from taking the CHL class would also be for "constitutional" carry or concealed carry without a license.
There were a couple of people in my class who were completely inexperienced. The woman next to me on the firing line asked me how to load her magazines, but I had no problem with her being in the class.
As someone said a few posts up, its been a non-issue so far. I figure if they're really serious about carrying they will become more proficient. Otherwise, they're probably not going to actually be carrying all that often.
